What is in your opinion the best gingerbread rom for GalaxyS??
Thanks
Another ROM-thread...
Just try some ROMs and you'll find your favourite.
Sent from hell to take your soul
After trying some and spending a lot of time doing I can have a pleasure recommending the best ROM - it is Darky's 9.5. It's stable, fast, behaves well with the battery and allows call recording. What else could you wish?
Hope this will save you some time. I don't like those "just Google it" or "just try it yourself" recommendations. This what Internet communities for - giving better answers than Google.

darky 9.5 is a Froyo rom but i lke to try a gingerbread rom
Try Darky 10.1 JVH ROM...It runs smooth

If call recording is the important to you, note, it's not yet available on GB. Also I saw posts in Darky's thread of people trying 10.1 and then going back to 9.5 because they found the not-so-revolutionary GB features don't justify leaving perfectly polished Froyo-based Darky's 9.5.
I don't use call recording but you're right gingerbread doesn't introduce a lot of new features... If I want to downgrade to froyo I must flash a stock firmware 2.2 or I can simply do a wipe and flash with a gingerbread bootloader???
I don't remember exactly what I did to downgrade 10.1 to 9.5 but in the worst case there is ROM called Darky's Resurrection which is programmed in Download mode via Odin application after which you can install 9.5 as usual (i.e. put it on your SD card, reboot into Recovery mode and burn the ROM).
Darky
Go for the Darky buddy.. it rocks..
Yes but what version are you using?

please help ive got JPC with rombie rom and i have to restart my samsung galaxy s i9000 like every day to to lag and fc.
I've tried several and this is the best for me.
This doesn't want to be in the development thread.....
I always ended up back on the doc's rom after trying others..
Use Voodoo 5 with any froyo rom and the phone will fly. Roms and tweaks are not making big differeces in speed. Only with lagfix you can feel the differnce and one of the easiest and fastest is Voodoo 5.
Any of DocRambone's bare-bones Rom with ULK kernel. All kernel tweaks on, JFS + EXT2 binds no journaling.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
CyanogenMod 6.1 BETA2... Fastest ROM and nicest to use, unfortunately takes a huge chunk of functionality away while the ROM developers are cleaning up Samsung's messy programming.
Once it's a Release Candidate stage, I think this will be the way to go. They also might be able to get Gingerbread out faster than Samsung. Here's hoping.
i guess for a normal phone user(not like me or many ppl here), want the phone work as a phone should, go for doc's jpo v8 plus hardcore's k10X kernel with gps fix, you can't be wrong.
usze nany rom, especially doc's 9.01 and then flash the YA-OK kernel.
very stable very fast and smooth.
lagfix EXT4/EXT2 no binds.
you will have at least 2100 quadrant.
In fact I just flashed with KIES froyo, then added root, and clockwork, and then the kernel.
using launcher pro (purchased) I added the DENA v2 theme and it looks very nice.

Hey m8, could you please be more specific which Rom you mean cause I can't find it. A link would be awesome.
Futhermore which laggfix do you mean with that? Is that the voodoo lagfix in the clockworkmod?
greetz!

Rombie ROM v2
thanks for all your help and time.
This could be a very informative thread but IMHO, it needs to be limited to only what works with some caveats. This should be a thread about what works.
If your ROM is in beta - don't recommend it! If it crashing constantly or throwing up FCs, don't recommend it! If the GPS doesn't work, don't recommend it.
Quadrant scores mean nothing - when you got your phone, it worked but had some lag. Now, with Froyo, lag has virtually been eliminated. Even the ROM dev are saying you don't need a lagfix in many cases as their ROM is so smooth.
There are nothing but ROM junkies in the dev forum; I'm one of them - load it on the phone crash it, load it on the phone crash it! But I didn't do this on my girlfriend's phone because I didn't want her calling me to fix it. There are a lot of people tiring of this and just want it to work. I admit the wow factor is wearing off for me. I'm leaning towards finding what works but I need some adrenalin... Some caveats?
1) Phone - no crashing/restarting daily
2) FC - limited; these will always happen occassionally our computers
3) GPS - good signal and lock
Without lagfix, I can recommend:
Doc's rom: v9.0.1_BUJP8 - very smooth, no lag fix required (quadrant 900+)
Modem ZSJPE (Hong Kong release) - very quick to lock on, very accuarate
BTW, our company developes GPS software for golfers always testing this!
My need for speed tells me to test the lagfix. If this thread continues, I'll be back...
Hi Guys,
Been away for a while due to health problems, I have Froyo Doc V9 JPO on my SGS.
Browsing the forum now there are simply loads too choose from, could any kind soul tell me which rom i can safely go up to from the version i have now.
Thank you kindly
If you are on Froyo you can basically migrate to whatever Gingerbread or CyanogenMod version you want. If you are not familiar with the latest tips & tricks the easiest thing to do probably would be to opt for one of the recently launched JVH or JVP roms. Look into solutions offered by Darky, Juwe and read the installation instructions thoroughly. Very easy to understand is the work done by DocRambone and Stefunel

Thanks man - i opted for Darky Rom - Quick and painless. @)
I´m using Darkys ROM 10.1 RE and it is awsome. Good choice!
And you can try Miui which looks better. And it is pretty easy to flash from Froyo.

im using for 0,5 years simply honey.maybe its something for you too.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
although im relatively new to the SGS scene i have already done my fair share of flashing.
I have found that there are 3 roms i regulary have been swapping between.
Simply Honey
Juwe's Smart Edition
Tweaky Rom
they are all fast and stable roms.
I have tried and tested Darky's Rom enjoyed it but I haven't re-visited it recently.
MIUI is a very very nice sleek interface, but the battery didn't seem to last very well with me.
Same with CM7 nice clean OS but the battery was an issue (and I used to swear by CM on my old G1, I will revisit when the battery is sorted).
My first SGS flashing experience was Simply Honey and I had no problems with it at all.
at the end of the day, in my opinion, every one has their favourite flavour from their favourite chef. I suggest you try them all at least once until you find your favourite.
(just flashed the latest Juwe's and so far its impressive)
hi
a question for the experts:
im looking for a recommended rom, as fast as possible, including lagfix if needed. Especially when having lots fo apps.
It just that i got this annoying lags on my current Rom, and sometimes i got an annoying delay when hitting an app buttons, up to 3-4 sec.
There are so many roms so i'm a bit lost, and will appreciate if you could help me get the best rom that i'm looking for.
And one more thing if possible: I prefer a detailed HowTo installation guide as possible...
Thanks
if you want to stay close to the base rom... try a deodexed base rom with a kernel supporting lagfix like darkcore..
or try this link (a list of custom roms)
alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/10/samsung-galaxy-s-custom-roms-list-1014.html
Personally i tried (and adopted) GingerReal :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025348
Already fast with just this rom. and after activating the voodoo lagfix with cwm it's really fast.
I have a very goo user experience with this rom. (looking forward to V7 (JVQ) that should go out tonight)
Go out to dev and explore, matter of taste/how you use your phone/your preferences......and each rom will have detailed install instructions....if not then pick the dev up on it. You will get as many answers as there are roms with this kind of question, and if your answer is......i haven't got time.....then stay with stock as you won't have time to sort any subsequent problems!

MIUI Galnet V3...give it a try, you won't be disappointed...
i have 2 options for you
1- i tried many roms and i realized that Darky rom is awesome in performance and the team is really cooperating , wait for Darky v.10.2 i expect it come out soon , it will be perfect rom
2- different and fast rom Galnet " make you own iphone look on android galaxy " bring all what you wish , but stil have few defects but they make weekly developing , and v3 will come out tonight
Or CM7 - fastest ROM beside MIUI.

From my point of view, MIUI is really great in comparison to the original SGS mod. I'm using it and updating it every two weeks because of the updates it's providing us.
Well im usin F1 galaxy s2 rom it makes you feel like u are usin galaxy s2 and its fast without lagfix enabled.
My + its for Juwe's Smart Edition > v5.0 XXJVP .... Semaphore Kernel its in Rom and you can flash new v. with cwm ....
Rom its very stable , fast and very nice .... in my case - all works fine
recommended

I definitely recommend the Super Galaxy rom by socialsp!
For me:
SAMSUNG GALAXY S i9000
Blockbuster 4.0 JVR Magnificent
GalaxianGT SP2 Kernel
FW: I9000XXJVR -> Android 2.3.4
and why? Because blacktheme in Blockbuster is good for battery life and galaxian kernel is one of the faster
I was on blockbuster and I also liked it because of the dark theme, but after I saw that CM switched to gingerbread bootloaders I gave first CM a try and was impressed, then I tried MIUI and it makes the SGS totally new, so I will stay with MIUI now, I have also a very black theme .
Juwes 5.2 JVQ with Semaphore 1.5 JVR at 1.2 GHz and GingerWay BlueOcean RC theme (The best theme around). So far the best of all the worlds.
Smooth Fast and Super-stable. No FCs what so ever. All apps are working as they should. Also I deleted some system apps to make it light.
Only one word for it.... Beautiful!!!!
MIUI
Galnet MIUI Couse its stable fast and extremly easy to theme'
I actually use DarkyROM, because of the theme, it's really nice!
Also like Symply GSII
So this thread will be to develop an all-hybrid rom , gathered sources from every other ROM out there?
seriously if you don't know where (more like how) to post on a forum, just don't.
I personally love the look of GalnetMIUI, and love the speed of Darky 10.2... but currently im JUST using a rooted copy of UGKG3 w/ TW4.5 by fragg0r. Simple, effective. And my battery life is insane. 24hrs later, 10% loss w/ some calling, a lot of texting, and listening to music.

I am not happy with the new ROMs that pop up on XDA. It seems like everyone makes a ROM because they can, and none offer anything exciting/new, barring a few of course. I'm on Simply Honey JVP ROM, but I'm looking for a suitable replacement.

DarkyROM 10.2 EE with Darkcore 2.9.3 kernel
Why1: because I wanted to start fresh and DarkyROM 10.2. EE had it all in one nice zip package bundled with Odin. The installation was pretty straightforward http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
Why2: because the official Cyanogenmod is still at RC for the SGS and its guides to install are not so user friendly. I followed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide and to my stupidity I paid little attention to "This guide assumes the Samsung Galaxy S already has Android 2.2 installed on it" and flashed the wrong kernel and then did not have SGS booting for a while, freaking me out, until I installed an Android 2.3.x compatible bootloader.

Unfortunately there isnt a custom kernel that works with UGKG3, BUT when i use a custom rom i prefer Galaxian or simply just SpeedMod. I prefer those two because they have less issues when i use them, and they're stable and fast.
I been on simply honey gingerbread since August, but after a few Weeks it starts to give force closes, becomes slow and battery calibration every 2/3 days. After every few Weeks when this happens I just reflash the ROM and it works well again until the cycle starts again.
anyway i'm fed up of doing that now, not much of a flasher either anymore like I was when darky and doc were around. So I just want a long time stable ROM, but there's so many I've from never heard of. So need help from you guys please.
P.s ROM developers, please start collaborating with each other to create quality ROMs rather than go for quantity of mediocre ROMs.

tornado ROM really fast and stable +
Damiangto kernel
Or
Cyanogenmod
Most people just go with some stock/custom samsung rom with a custom kernel. Samsung based roms aren't all that much different from each other, some tweaks, removal/add of programs, different theme and that's pretty much it. In the end i always ended up finding something i didn't like and up to this day i haven't seen anyone correcting the charging bug on samsung's roms.
No offense meant to any developer out there, of course, but i've tried loads of roms and this is my experience of it.
This kind of changed after trying cyanogenmod 7 stable. It isn't based on samsung's roms. And i know this statement is, by now, a cliche around here but this is, by far,the fastest and most stable rom i've tried up to this day and is what i recommend from personal experience.
Just a note to however follows this route. There are nightlies being released after the stable version and i've seen people recommending them instead of the stable because they were release after the stable and are just added stuff. The way i see it, if they're adding new stuff, it may break previous stable work. Well, this is your call, they are called nightlies for a reason, not stable.
Up to you though, i've seem some posts saying they had all sorts of trouble with CM7. I reckon either they were unlucky, tried an unstable version or just didn't follow instructions properly and ended up quitting.
It seems that GingerReal v1.3 for Galaxy Ace is more stable as what I have experienced.
sO Go GingerReal YoU RocK Dude!!!
